The heavily textured wall (like giant stucco) and prairie sun made this fabulous mural a challenge to shoot.

I was in Winnipeg end of the year in 2012, and shot 127 murals. I am headed back for another visit, and will shoot more murals. I’ve only posted 64 of the original 127, but hey, it’s nice to have extras!
